Carolina is a fork of the Saluki project. Saluki is a woof-build based on Racy 5.2 with Xfce. The suggested target hardware are computers less than 6 years old. It should run reasonably fast on older machines and netbooks, but Xfce does need a bit more ram and cpu than the standard ROX/Jwm puppy - probably at least 512MB of ram and 1GHz CPU for decent performance.

Our goals are much the same as Saluki's - user-friendliness, innovation, improved look and feel, and solid, functional applications. We will attempt to address the most common complaints of new Puppy users and raise the bar for Puppy usability, customizability, and polish. We intend to enhance what Saluki started.

Features:

* Xfce-4.10 for the desktop/window manager.
* The PAE 3.2.13 Linux kernel.
* Firefox for the browser.
* Thunderbird email client.
* Built-in flash support.
* SMPlayer for the media player (with YouTube support).
* Clementine for the audio player.
* Nomacs for image viewing.
* LibreOffice for your office needs/MS document compatibility.
* Enhanced custom-menu/extra menu category support not offered in Saluki.
* Enhanced Xfce options via GUI not offered in Saluki - or currently any other distro, Puppy or otherwise.
* Larger save-file resizing increments.
* A huge repository with more than 1000 pets/sfs still growing every day!
* The latest version of the pup-volume-monitor.
* Simple, un-cluttered menus, with one application per task and a searchable control panel that makes navigating easy and intuitive.
* Icons that can be dragged from the menus or the control panel onto the desktop to create symlinks.
* Highly customizable panels with a multitude of available panel applets, plus a wide array of included themes and fonts, make personalizing your desktop fun.
* Out of the box OpenGL and SDL makes Carolina ready for eye candy like Compiz and Cairo-Dock, as well as 3D games.
*Straightforward MTP device support for easy access to modern Android devices!

Carolina comes in 2 flavors, regular, and lite (Carolite), for those who like their pups slim.

No it's not a typo, pup-volume-monitor-0.1.7: Lightweight drive management.

I reported there was a problem with the pup-volume-monitor to akash_rawal, he kindly rewrote it,
this as fixed problems with unmounting and applications crashing while mounting drives._________________Carolina:Recent Repository AdditionsCreate strikethrough textHERE
